XCOM Slingshot DLC Released

Firaxis and 2K Games have announced the release of a new DLC pack for their recently released XCOM strategy game, available for both the Xbox 360 and PC.

With the Slingshot Content Pack, players will meet an enigmatic Triad operative, divert an alien ship’s course, and do battle with the aliens in the skies over China in a new set of linked Council missions. The Slingshot Content Packincludes three new maps tied to the Council missions, a new playable squad character with a unique story and voice, and new character customization options.

I’m personally a bit underwhelmed by this, since for me XCOM has always been about replayability and not about the story. Still, it’s nice to see 2K Games continuing to support the title.
